ever wonder what it would be like to go off a jump on your skis only to find out that your skis were no longer attached??? I bet Jeff Bean could answer that question for you!!!

those crazy canadians!! sooo damn good they take their equipment off mid jump!!!! what an ego!!!

Hmm.... I've always wondered what would have happened if you combined David Hasselhoff's singing with a blue screen and a bad costume department. There's one mystery solved.

Excuses time: 6 games in 8 days, balanced competition, little pre-tournament prep time, Gretz's gambling media frenzy, Bertuzzi, Bertuzzi's lawsuit, AD's boycott of the team, lack of pre-tournament Edmonton snow... Did I miss anything?

Forgetting of course the other Canadian athletes' brilliant day, including a 1-2 in speedskating, another cross country gold (when did this happen to Canada?), and a silver in the rollerderby on ice. And also forgetting the great games that Canadians in general are having. (18 medals with four days to go, and one guaranteed to come in curling, is pretty good.)

Of course, here's hoping that Orbs gets the power back; the Oilers are going to need it.

Once again Eric, here's something that you'll only enjoy.
This is a fascinating video about the most famous and sampled breakbeats of all time, the Amen Break Everybody has heard this beat, as it has been disseminated into different forms. Does anyone else find this amazing? This simple funky beat lead to the creation of new genres...from hip-hop to jungle.

Hmm... Oracle releases a free light-weight database... Oracle buys InnoDB who was working with MySQL... Oracle just bought Berkley Sleepycat, who was also working with MySQL... now rumors are saying they are going to by Zend (ie PHP). Anyone else thing they might be trying to squeeze out or buy MySQL?

haha,




sorry I didn't make it out folks. I really wanted to go to twister tonight, but there's just something rather odd about one's grandma off-loading her personal effects because she 'won't be needing them any more' that makes one less than excited about being out in public...

"I think we have cleared up the discrepancy.":

President Bush visited the National Renewable Energy Laboratory here Tuesday to promote his plan to increase cleaner-burning, domestic sources of energy. The appearance came one day after the administration moved to defuse tensions over job cuts at the lab.

The 32 layoffs this month included eight researchers working on many of the alternative forms of energy Bush came here to champion. But on Monday, Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman announced that $5 million would be transferred from another government account to bring the workers back -- and avoid an untimely political embarrassment for Bush.
